Our friend, Heidi von Marbod, from the Cheney School District came back to visit and share with us more tips and lifts for supporting student transitions into the community and vocational opportunities. Heidi is a leader in supporting special education students who typically have an IEP due to a developmental disability. Students ceremoniously walk across the graduation stage with their peers and then continue for another 2-3 years. 

Her particular transition program is unique in that it is a standalone program in her district which is within the bus line.

We discussed best practices which include: 

• Community Inclusion
• Vocational Experience
• Soft Skill Development
• Job Coaching
• Business Partnerships
• Resources for State Agencies

It was so nice to have Heidi come back. We are so excited to hear how her and her team continue to support all students in life "after the yellow bus".

Whether you watch us LIVE or watch a replay of the video, you, OUR COMMUNITY, will now have the capability to see our guests as they share their stories. 

Come join the conversations and play games LIVE every month on the first 3 Wednesdays!
